For the 2024-2025 school year, we will be implementing the Building Healthy Communities program in Michigan school districts.  Using state and national data, we’re focusing on communities that have rampant disparities in health, education, and economic opportunities.

Building Healthy Communities is a school-based program focused on addressing the social determinants of health that have contributed to wide disparities in many communities across Michigan. The program offers schools resources to facilitate a healthier environment, prevent chronic disease, and improve the physical and mental health of children.

Our 2024-2025 program participants can look forward to implementing the below eight components. To start the application process click on the below button.
